Tell that to sun
And what’s bad about leaving the lights on? Is energy a scarce resource or what? Since when is it bad to use it? This is such a strange take you have. We are not talking about water in the desert. We are talking about energy and increased consumption just stimulates more production and decreases cost.
It’s like saying “don’t type stupid comments on your laptop, it’s a waste of your laptop resources”. They are not finite. We can produce more. In so many different ways. Some of which are bad and some are good.
Doesn’t make typing stupid comments bad in no way.
- lwansbrough 5y ago> Tell that to sun I'm not sure if you're being intentionally daft or what, but obviously we're talking about energy used by humans. On Earth, the means to capture or produce any energy is a result of economic interest. If you want to capture energy from the sun at scale, there's a cost attached to it. > And what’s bad about leaving the lights on? Is energy a scarce resource or what? Yes, captured energy is literally a scare resource. Texas had rolling blackouts last winter. Many places in the developing world have constant rolling blackouts. That's why we charge money for it, that's why we invest money to drill for it, that's why we've invested decades of research and development into improving our ability to capture energy. The electric company where I live, which is hydro-electricity based has run commercials for as long as I can remember to conserve energy because of its positive impact on the environment. Where the hell do you live that you think energy is infinite and free? The sun?
